1. Interest Rates (Macroeconomics)

[mgroupfx]

Interest rates are the cost of borrowing money either by individuals, companies or even governments

If people companies borrow less they have less money to invest and to spend

If interest rates go up this will result in more savings and less spending and eventually lead to a decrease in growth of the economy

If interest rates go down this will result in higher borrowing and higher spending and lead to an increased growth in the economy
